We welcome holding of the elections for the lower house of the Parliament
of Afghanistan on 20 October 2018 and the interest shown by all Afghan
people in the elections, despite the challenging conditions

We hope that postponed elections in two provinces due to the security
situation will be held as early as possible.

After all relevant Afghan institutions carry out their work in a just and
transparent manner, we expect that the definitive results of the elections
will be declared as soon as possible.
